Creative Response: Final Idea Concept

So for the second idea for my Creative Response of which I felt was a lot more realistic in terms of what I could create in the time I had was to create a short documentary. The documentary would be comprised of interviews with fellow animation students talking about characters they know in animation who have mental illnesses and talking about how well they think they are represented to an audience. Then over the top of the audio of these images the visuals would be made up of footage of these chosen characters from whatever animation they appear in.

The idea for this documentary was inspired by the documentary Room 237 which is a documentary made up of people discussing their theories about the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining. I feel the documentary maker of this film decided not to show the interviewees on screen due to it being a stylistic choice, a style similar to another documentary I enjoyed Amy about the life of the musician Amy Winehouse. So when it came to making my documentary I was aiming to do the same thing.
